Japanese Randoseru Backpack

Randoseru (Japanese backpack) is a traditional Japanese school backpack typically used by elementary school children.

But recently, it is getting popular for foreign tourists to come to our shops and buy randoseru for souvenirs or gifts for themselves. Because randoseru is good for not only daily use but also business, travel, and fashion.

Randoseru backpacks and ordinary backpacks each have their own advantages and disadvantages, so please refer to the following to help you find the right backpack for you.

Randoseru vs Backpack

	Randoseru	Backpack
Weight	Heavy (Approx. 1,200-1,550g)	Light (Approx. 800g)
Capacity	Big enough (13inch laptop, documents, water bottle, pencase etc...)	Depends
Water-repellent	High, and also scratch-resistant	Mostly low
Durability	Good	Good, but low compared to randoseru.
Price	High	Reasonable
Functionally	Standing on its own on the floor (doesn’t lose its shape)	Many Pockets
Burden	Distributed over the whole upper body	Concentrated on one point, which puts strain on the back and shoulders.

For those looking for lightwight and flexibility in the bag itself, an ordinal nylon backpack may be the right choice, but it can also make a lot of sense for adults to use randoseru, considering that they can hold a PC, are water repellent and resistant to damage to the items inside.
There are many cute designs for children, but there are also many simple satchels that go well with office attire.
Please try to find a school bag that is good for you.
